Abstract

In connection with an intermediate anchoring of a manipulation cable connecting between a manipulation side and an actuation side of an automobile transmission mechanism, an intermediate anchoring bracket 22 of the manipulation cable 4 is provide integral with the starter 2. Specifically, a front bracket 21 of the starter 2, which is attached to a transmission block 1 with a high positional accuracy according to an original purpose of improving engagement between a ring gear 32 and a pinion 23, and the anchoring bracket 22 defining the intermediate anchoring point position of the manipulation cable 4 are formed integral. By merely attaching the starter 2 to the transmission mechanism block 1 with a small number of parts, an accurate positioning of the anchoring bracket 22 with respect to an actuation point 1a is realized, thereby, a positional accuracy between the intermediate anchoring point position and the actuation point 1a can be improved.
